FAMILY IDEAS –

For my Family study i have decided on an idea called ‘The Box’, This idea comes from a ‘special box’ that i was given when i was born. My sister was also given an identical one also. Throughout our lives, my mother has collected things from our childhood that have been of significant memory and has put them in the box. These things range from baby scans of us inside my mother, hospital bands from he day we were born, our first shoes, presents we were given as children and much much more. These objects in these boxes have become very special to us, and are restricted and hidden in chosen places in our bedrooms. My parents, imparticularlly my mother doesn’t like anyone who is not family looking at these boxes, I’m unsure of the reason why but i assume privacy reasons. I would like to study thing as my “Family” area of work as i feel firstly it is a very family related idea and very few people could tell this story as all of the objects in the box have sentimental value and memories related to them that nobody would understand apart from me.

COMMUNITY IDEAS –

My community study i feel is going to be the most interesting and intriguing to conduct. This is because the idea and plan of the study is based on unexpected behaviour and events. My community idea is based around my community of friends. Your friendship community are the people you surround yourself with and tend to do everything with, bad and good. I would like to therefore document my community of friends to study and capture the behaviours and events that happen when you are in company with each other. Typically at this age alcohol is a bit part of social occasions, due to 18th birthdays and social party events. Behaviour that is present at these events and gatherings depends on the company and degree of comfort you feel when you are around them. You therefore allow behaviour that is not accepted or performed in front of others e.g: Family. My idea for this area of work is capturing and photographing these events and to catch this behaviour and intoxication on camera swell as memory.

FAITH –

I have no ideas for Faith so far, however will update this post when I do.
